The term "unitary executive" has come to be interpreted as a license for presidents and governors to do things on their own. Instead of submitting to our Constitutional framework to have Congress make the laws, the unitary executive can decide to bypass the Constitution and mandate changes. West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey thinks of himself in this way. He has eliminated civil service protections, axed the Office of Minority Affairs, and wants to end mandatory vaccinations in schools--all ordered by past legislation. He's ignoring it.
